Patent EP-1096357-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WAGGONER VAN EARL
IPC: G05G9/047
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: Three independent functions are controlled from a single control lever (20).
The lever (20) is mounted on a universal joint having a slip yoke (38), a flanged yoke
(36) and a cross member (40) extending between the two yokes (36, 38) and
defining a first transverse pivot axis and a second transverse pivot axis. The slip
yoke (38) is provided with first and second ball joints (54, 56) located in the same
plane as the cross member (40). The first function is controlled by the fore-and-aft
movement of the control lever (20) pivoting the slip yoke (38) about the first
transverse pivot axis moving the first ball joint (54) up and down. The first ball joint
(54) is coupled to a first link (58) that moves the first hydraulic control valve (24).
The second function is controlled by the side-to-side movement of the control lever
(20). Such a side-to-side movement pivots the slip yoke (38) about the second
transverse pivot axis moving the second ball joint (56) and second link (62)
positioning the second hydraulic control valve (26). The third function is controlled
by the twisting movement of the control lever (20). A strap (70) is welded to the
control lever (20) and is provided with a third ball joint that is coupled to a third
linkage (82) for manipulating the third hydraulic control valve (28). The third linkage
(82) is provided with a rod (72), a bell crank (78) and a third link.

Abstract: The device comprises two coaxial screws (6 and 7) one internal of the other,
which are commandably rotatable internally of a mixing chamber (2). The
internal of the screws (7) exhibits a coaxial free space which extends in an
axial direction. The screws (6 and 7) are self-supporting, without a central
support shaft, and are supported by one end thereof. The external of the screws
(6) is made to rotate in a direction which will cause loose material to move
from an inlet (3) towards an outlet (4) of the mixing chamber (2), while the
internal of the screws (7) is made to rotate in a direction which will favour a
return of the loose material from the outlet (4) towards the inlet (3). The device
offers a relatively high performance.

Abstract: In a CAN device, e.g., a CAN microcontroller, that supports a plurality of message
objects, a method that includes concurrently staging two or more transmit messages
associated with respective ones of two or more enabled transmit message objects for
attempted transmission over a CAN bus coupled to the CAN device, and performing a pre-arbitration
process to determine which of the two or more concurrently staged transmit
messages has priority. The message determined to have priority is deemed a winning
message and the message object associated with the winning message is deemed a winning
message object. In a presently preferred embodiment, the pre-arbitration process is a selected
one of at least two pre-arbitration schemes, including a first pre-arbitration scheme whereby
priority is determined according to a CAN bus arbitration priority scheme established by the
governing CAN protocol, and a second pre-arbitration scheme whereby priority is determined
by selecting the transmit message associated with the highest-numbered (or, alternatively,
lowest-numbered) message object as the winning message. In the event that more than one
of the two or more concurrently staged transmit messages are determined to have the same
priority, the transmit message associated with the highest-numbered message object is
designated as the winning message. The method further includes attempting to transmit the
winning message over the CAN bus. If the winning message is not granted access to the
CAN bus, the pre-arbitration priority determination process is repeated.

Abstract: In a wireless data network, such as a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
network, a transmitter uses one of  k  coding/modulation schemes for transmitting data.
The transmitter initially selects a coding/modulation scheme,  C , as a function of carrier-to-interference
ratio ( C/I ) measurements. The transmitter then calculates the number of
blocks,  B , required to transmit a number of data packets,  D , using the coding/modulation
scheme  C . In addition, the transmitter calculates the number of blocks required to
transmit the number of data packets,  D , for each coding/modulation scheme that is
stronger than the selected coding/modulation scheme  C . The transmitter finally selects
that coding/modulation scheme that results in transmitting the number of data packets  D 
in  B  blocks using the strongest coding/modulation scheme. As a result, each block is
transmitted using the strongest coding/modulation scheme available.

Abstract: An M X N routing optical matrix switching method and device provide a routing
optical Crossbar network system. They provide a
routing parallel optical channel network with performance of non-block and a
parallel optical channel routing combination. Each input port is provided with
N parallel optical channels, respectively, leading to the order number end of
each output port. Consequently, the signal beams from each input port can
select one of N independent optical channels in complete non-block to be
transmitted to the output order number port. Then, M parallel optical channels,
desired to reach to identical one output port, are incorporated into one parallel
optical channel by routing combination. Thus, the signal beams from the input
fibers are coupled into the output fibers in high-efficiency. An optical matrix
switching device consists of a collimated unit of one dimension fiber array, a
crystal unit for converting random polarization beam into linear polarization
beam, a routing parallel optical channel network, a routing combination unit of
parallel optical channel, and a coupling unit of one dimension fiber array. The
device has various advantages of simple structure, small size, lower insertion
loss, good scalable, switching rate of millisecond or microsecond order,
unidirection, bidirection and broadcast functions. A module of M×N (M=2 m ,
N=2 n , m and n are nature numbers) optical routing matrix switching can be
developed, and can widely serve for varieties of all-optical cross connection,
optical add/drop OADM and optical wavelength route OXC equipment in the
field of DWDM optical communication.

Abstract: An operating system independent distributed self-contained dynamic
logic system enables EO functionality in small edge routers or progammable
switches and provides the capability for EO switch enhanced functionality that is
programmable from a remote location. The dynamic logic system may be
implemented across several elements, including a subscriber database called a
Service Control Point (SCP), a computer called a Service Management Point
(SMP) for controlling and distributing programmable logic to implement EO
features, and an Edge Switching Point (ESP) for interacting with a physical
device (telephone/data endpoint). The dynamic logic system may be introduced
at the "intercept" layer between the physical edge switching point device,
typically a telephone interface, and a routing network. The routing network
may be a packet switched network, a traditional Class-4 network, or an
equivalent. This intercept receives inputs from both the device, and the routing
network. The processing of these events, to create an application, is controlled
by distributed logic. The distributed logic is managed by the SMP. The logic is
activated by an operator, and is distributed for consumption. The logic is
completely self-contained, requiring only subscriber data to execute, which is
obtained on a call-by-call basis. EO switching functions such as playing tones,
gathering digits, and routing calls, may be provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a motor-driven bicycle including an
automatic gear shifter, which is capable of improving
shift feeling upon gear-shift. 
     Upon shift-up from the "second speed" to
the "third speed", since an output torque at the "third
speed" is larger than an output torque at the "second
speed" at a gear-shift vehicle speed Vch23, the output
torque is increased after gear-shift. If during running
at the "second speed", a vehicle speed V reaches to the
gear-shift vehicle speed Vch23 and thereby a timing of
shift-down to the "third speed" comes, a gear-shift
actuator is driven for gear-shift, and a drive current to
be supplied to the drive motor is reduced to lower the
output torque at the "third speed" to the output torque
at the "second speed", whereby both the output torques at
the "third speed" and the "second speed" are made to
substantially correspond to each other. After that, the
drive current to be supplied to the drive motor is
gradually increased, to generate an output torque
inherent to the "third speed".
